First of all, the rates can't be beat - only a block from the boardwalk center yet extremely affordable. The room was large and clean with both a refrigerator and a microwave. WIFI was fantastic and free. Two beds, a desk,bureau, table and three chairs more than met our needs.

The friendly owners live on-site and gave us personal service being very concerned that we enjoyed our stay. We WILL be back next year!

I booked this motel for the location to the beach, price, as well as the positive reviews but those positive reviews must come from people who live in a trailer park. This was the worst place I have ever stayed, EVER. I have been coming to OC since I was a child - that is at least 30 years. We stayed one night in the Efficiency. Let me start with the walk to the room, the narrow walkway is lined with pots full of sand and cigarettes and you literally bump the legs of people sitting on a bench smoking outside of their room. I wanted to vomit before I even got to the room. The parking lot is extremely small and does not accommodate SUVs well. Sure the owners are nice and accomodating but they need to put a lot of work into this place. The room smelled awful like cigarettes and mildew. There is no bathtub so beware for families there is no way to bath small children. The room is dark bc the windows have opaque panels on them that may or may not open. I could only get one open. There is a wicker chair in this room for seating whose cushion is black with filth and the chair itself is broken. I was actually disgusted by the bedding. There is a small additional room attached that gets no light because of the window a/c unit. I was also uncomfortable with the fact that the small bedroom's door does not lock from the inside (but there was a chain) and therefore a fun discovery for my 2 year old. Everywhere you look there is something broken or has a cigarette burn in it. Even the lamp shade had a tear in it. My best suggestion is the gut the place and start over. Everything is so dated and old. I'm sorry for the terrible review but hopefully it is a wake up call. With a location as great as this one this property should invest some money and update (and fumigate).

Room Tip: Don't choose one.

My family stayed here for years. We stay in the duplex. It is awesome. It has everything we need. It is a block from the boardwalk and beach. One of the nice things is when you walk to the boardwalk you are right in the middle of everything. You do not have to walk blocks to get to the action. The people are so friendly. I feel like part of the family. If there are any problems, they take care of it in record time. Even when the coffee maker broke, we had a new one in an hour. I have already booked for next year and hopefully for many years to come.

Stayed for a night, and only booked because of generally good reviews on Tripadvisor, but must say it was not a good experience. The pros are the price and the location, being very close to the beach and boards. Otherwise, the room was very dated, musty and not pleasant. The parking lot is very tight, especially for minivan or SUV owners. Oh, another pro was Rich, the guy who checked us in - he was cool.
